This Train FLOATS on Nothing at All! 🚆🤯

This train floats with nothing underneath it at all. A maglev rests on a gap of air just ten millimetres wide — no wheels, no axles, nothing touching — while magnets pull it up from above, sensors catch it falling one hundred thousand times a second, and the track itself becomes a thirty-kilometre electric motor that surfs it to 431 km/h. Then we cross to Japan, where superconducting magnets cooled to −269°C float a train ten centimetres up and set the world record at 603 km/h.
